Community food boxes have been installed at Beaver Creek and East Ward Elementary Schools!

As we plan for students and staff to return to WEST, there are a number of items I need to share with you.  Included in this post you will find your "Welcome Back" student newsletter as well as the Home and School Newsletter.  Additionally, there are also documents with information about Picture Day and Food Service which will be important for you to review.

Beginning Monday, August 29, the Food Service Department will resume charging students for their meals unless the student is eligible for meal benefits. In order to determine if your child is eligible for free or reduced meals, a 2022/2023 Household Application must be submitted. 

Welcome to Downingtown West! To assist students with a smooth transition to high school, we invite our Freshmen and New Students to an Orientation Picnic on Monday, August 22nd at 6:00 pm in the West Auditorium.  This is a student-only event.
